Hi Im Using Xp Pro
THIS IS WHERE IM UP TO .SORRY IM NOT USED TO FORUMS.NEWBY.[please scroll to bottom of page]
The exe has created a folder on your C drive called Unlocker. There are 2 folders inside that one called kaiser-HardSPLv1 and one called kaiser-simunlocker
Note for Vista users
===============
If you do not have the latest version of Mobile Centre follow This guide to explain how to change your drivers to the xp. You will have problems running the unlocker otherwise. Log in as administrator if you run the ROM update tool and unlocker. That also applies to XP users.
Instructions
============
1. Install HardSPL as per the instructions:
1- Connect Kaiser to computer using USB cable
2- Make sure ActiveSync icon is GREEN
3- RUN kaiser-hardSPL.exe on Computer (PC)
4- Follow instructions on screen
To check it has installed correctly, power off and then press power on while keeping camera pressed, this will enter the so called bootloader mode and you see a tri-colour screen (Red, Green, Blue). You should see "SPL-1.0 OliPof" on the second line in the top left corner. You can exit this mode by means of a "soft reset": press the reset button with the stylus.
2. Make a note of the radio version that is currently installed. You see the version strings in the splash screen which appears soon after power on (e.g. "R 1.27.14.09") (Or by going to Start, Settings, System, device information). Since we will flash a special radio in step 5 you need to flash back your original radio in the last step. (If you have a UK Orange Tytn II with the radio version 1.27.12.29, Use Radio version 1.27.12.32. Keep a note of the unlocking Code as you will need to enter it again after you have re-flashed the Radio.) (You will find download links at the bottom of the instructions)
3. Connect PC and Kaiser with a USB cable and keep it connected until the last step.
4. Power on the Kaiser and let it boot into Windows Mobile. On the PC make sure the activesync icon is green
5. After you unpacked the download you see directories "step1" and "step2". Go into "step1" and run KaiserCustomRUU.exe. This will flash the special patched radio rom. Follow the instructions until it is finished.
6. Power off your Kaiser and insert a different SIM, i.e. a SIM from another provider than the one your phone is locked to. (if you have a pin on the sim disable it first)
7. Once Windows Mobile has booted up it will (usually after you have entered the usual 4-digit PIN) show a window called "Simlock" and a textbox where you can enter a 8-digit unlock code. Now perform a soft reset by pressing the reset button *but* at the same time keep the camera button pressed. If you did it well you will be back in bootloader mode and you see the tri-color screen. The best technique is to press and hold the camera button first and then shortly press the reset button with the stylus.
8a. right-click activesync icon and uncheck "Allow USB connections" from Connection Settings
8b. On your PC, go into the "step2" directory and run "kaiser-simunlocker.exe". If all went well you will see the unlock code on your monitor and your Kaiser is being restarted
MY KAISER DOES NOT RESTART and stays in tri mode AND THERE IS NO PASSWORD ON SCREEN.THANKS AGAIN

I got stucked into a Multi dotted colored screen with my Kaiser8925, and I can´t flash the old radio versión, I got the file, but I try to flash my kaiser, and it gets not installed, I think the new radio version I flashed is causing the problems. ¿Can you help me?

Thread hi-jacking is not very good...also posting the same thing in multiple threads isn't either...But, try reinstalling your Windows rom...Sounds like thats the issue. Could be something more severe though.
ATTENTION:
I'm sorry I have been busy in the past months and let my xda account unattended. I currently don't own this device anymore. Anyways if someone wants to take over this thread and expand the tutorial by adding a video or photos are welcomed.
Caution:
THIS GUIDE IS INTENDED FOR ADVANCE USERS. A BACKGROUND KNOWLEDGE IS NEEDED. I RECOMMEND DOING SOME READING BEFORE TRYING THIS OUT.
This guide is to recover the IMEI. This happens when the LG Communication Partition has been corrupted, or you have a locked handset example locked to AT&T or any other provider.
Corruption of the IMEI is caused with a bug with the original Froyo firmware. This is provided in an internal use only document from LG but I failed to find the source.
Please be aware that you are dealing with the phone internal hardware and you can really mess up things. Continue at your own risk.
Requirements:
• Latest LG support usb drivers from the LG support site.
• Stock Rom preferably gingerbread v20p.
• Compressed file provided in the attachment section
• TI Omap driver included (OMAPFlashInstaller.msi)
• Infineon Driver included (FlashUSB_x86_x64_Drivers)
Flashing the CP and removing the SIM LOCK
1. Extract the files to a folder
2. Install the OMAP driver (OMAPFlashInstaller.msi) and the Infineon driver (FlashUSB_x86_x64_Drivers)
3. Shutdown your phone and remove the battery. Wait 5 seconds and insert the battery again.
4. Press and hold the “VOL+” and connect the USB cable to the computer and then while holding the VOL+ press and hold the PWR button until it vibrates. The phone should not boot up.
5. Let the TI OMAP drivers install
6. Open Windows Enabler.exe and activate it by clicking on the icon next to the windows system time at the bottom right.
7. Open SmartFlash.exe
8. Under the “Normal D/L” tab double click “Erase entire CP” verify that the checkbox its selected (this will erase the IMEI and any GSM locks)
9. Click on START and wait until it finish
10. Remove the battery and place it again
11. Press and hold the “VOL+” and connect the USB cable to the computer and then while holding the VOL+ press and hold the PWR button until it vibrates. The phone should not boot up.
12. Go to “ROM copy D/L” tab
13. In the “CP bin” choose the file included in "LGP940_CP.rar" (included in attachments)
14. click “Erase entire CP” verify that the checkbox its selected
15. Click on START and wait until it finish
16. Remove the battery and place it again and power on your phone (Write down the IMEI number under the battery it will be used later)
17. Flash a gingerbread KDZ stock rom
IMPORTANT: Some users are having issues with restoring IMEIS using roms that are not supported. If you have a p925 use a p925 KDZ and if you have a p920 use the p920 KDZ
Restoring the IMEI deleted from the previous steps
1. Connect phone by USB
2. Activate USB debug mode
3. Enter 3845#*920# or 3845#*925# or 3845#*760# depending on your model
4. Select Port Settings -> Select CP Image Download
5. A new device should appear at let it install
6. Open Tutty and select serial protocol. Click on open
7. Type AT if response is not OK, change port number (it is possible that when typing you don’t see any letters)
8. Type at%imei, it should display a dummy IMEI
9. Type at%imei=x,x,x,x,x,x,x,x,x,x,x,x,x,x,x where x,x,x... is your orginal IMEI number (found under the battery of your phone). It should response IMEI WRITE OK
10. Reboot phone
Common Issues:
- On step 9 notice that there is no coma at the end of the 15 digit IMEI number.
- The COM Port connection closes rapidly on certain devices to avoid timeout errors I recommend doing copy paste specially on step 9 also to ensure that you are writing a correct IMEI
- To avoid issues ensure you use a good USB Cable, dont be cheap!!.
- If the device doesn't see the omap device on Windows Device Manager even after enabling show ghost devices on windows you have a faulty motherboard.
- If after selecting the "CP Image Download" mode you see a new com port and gets rapidly disconnected you have a faulty modem thus a faulty motherboard. (Don't know how to fix this, I have only seen this on one device)
DON'T FORGET TO CLICK ON THE THANKS BUTTON
Thanks to IODAK
Thanks
I followed the first steps "flashing the CP" and it seemed to go ok. I thought my IMEI may have been corrupt and it completely wiped it out.
I then went on to restoring and I'm not sure if a new device installed as outlined in step 5. I opened tutty and selected serial protocol adjusted port setting to the only port that would accept commands and got error at step 8 when I tried to display IMEI. I thought this was probably ok since I thought that I had just wiped this file clean and that I need to input the # again ( as in step 9) for it to be displayed.
I assume that in step 10 reset means reboot.
I still wasn't able to restore the IMEI though.
As I am typing this I read over your instructions again and think that I did not separate each number with a comma. Possibly this is the reason I wasn't able to restore? Right now I can't try again because I'm a noob and I've bricked my phone.
Thanks for your detailed instructions though.
You can't start over and try again? At least restoring part?
Restoring IMEI
1. Connect phone by USB
2. Activate USB debug mode
3. Enter 3845#*920# in dialer if that doesn’t work try 3845#*925#
4. Select Port Settings -> Select CP Image Download
5. A new device should appear at let it install
6. Open Tutty and select serial protocol. Click on open
7. Type AT if response is not OK, change port number (it is possible that when typing you don’t see any letters)
8. Type at%imei, it should display your current IMEI
9. Type at%imei=x,x,x,x,x,x,x,x,x,x,x,x,x,x,x , where x,x,x... is your orginal IMEI number
10. Reset

Yes you can start again from the restoring imei part. If you get and error when you input the imei probably is because you are putting more digits than it should (imei = 15 digits)

No, you won't be able to change the IMEI first of all because it's illegal and second it will give you an error

try to use a 32 bit windows OS instead, If that does not work, try installing the driver manually from the windows Device Manager.

So, please update the link, with the zip linked above it worked perfectly! :good:
//edit: And there is one more very simple way, if you have activated the device manager as device administrator (for some odd reason my phone deactivated all device admins, that's why I locked myself out in the first way, I use TimePIN and suddenly my code and the failsafe didn't work ) :
Go to https://www.google.com/android/devicemanager klick on "lock" and enter some pin like 1234, the current lockscreen will be overwritten by the 1234-lock.
Here's a simple windows app I made that will do all that with just one click over ADB http://youtu.be/NxzGxb73CQE

My Galaxy S2 slipped from my hand and battery popped out. After turning the device on, the phone would not accept my PIN! Strange as it seems.
Tried method 6 initially, but did not work. However went for Method 7 and profit!
I had TWRP recovery already in place, so didn't actually had to use the aroma file manager.
Thank you so much again. Weird days!

Try the option "upgrade from storage"
Normally it's called install zip from sd card. If it's not working, change the recovery.

Thank you, thank you, thank you! You saved my day! :laugh::laugh:
This worked BUT: The aromafilemanager.zip didn't work, I had to download it from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1646108
So, please update the link, with the zip linked above it worked perfectly! :good:
//edit: And there is one more very simple way, if you have activated the device manager as device administrator (for some odd reason my phone deactivated all device admins, that's why I locked myself out in the first way, I use TimePIN and suddenly my code and the failsafe didn't work ) :
Go to https://www.google.com/android/devicemanager klick on "lock" and enter some pin like 1234, the current lockscreen will be overwritten by the 1234-lock.

thanx buddy...I have added that link :good::angel:
what one will do if he has stock recovery with usb debugging disabled and has forgotten lock screen pattern or pin ? Is there anyway to enable usb debugging in fastboot or stock recovery or any other way?
stuck with the error plzz help flashed stock with odin but remains at setup connection
screenshot
It happened with me sometime back; I tried download mode & it worked. However, recovery mode Home & Power buttons is not accesible.
Take out battery. Re-insert it & "cafefully" press & hold Volume down & Home & Power buttons together & u will enter download mode(yellow triangle). Flash the firmware as usual & see if it works.
not working with one package file it remain at setup connection
1st goto download mode & flash via Odin. U still HAVE download mode. Download mode doesn't vanish in such a case.
This screen in the pic appears when u access download mode & without proper flashing, trying to switch on the phone again. So it shows that symbol.
Do as what I said in the post above.
while using odin
after some process
it get stuck on setup connection

Have u made it to download mode or not yet?
done
Which firmware r u flashing? Use Odin v4.42 & filename of ops file should be exactly as BENI_v1.0.ops
I guess u need a froyo(4pkg) firmware.
I tried searching for nearly an hour but couldn't find.
Found the package file
Plz tell me the procedure to flash
Strictly follow the steps mentioned below:
Remember: Don't ever use firmwares made for GT-S5670i/GT-S5670L...etc. on devices like GT-S5670 (no appended alphabet here), coz it will brick ur phone.
First of all,
* Install samsung mobile driver on pc.
* Uninstall Kies(if installed); In some cases, it's also required to disable antivirus/firewall,...etc.(I don't know why).
* Preferably use laptop(for power backup & also it has good usb ports) with XP/Windows7(not Windows8)
* Goto "download mode" in the phone. Then connect it to pc.
* Open Odin v4.42.exe as administrator & you'll see "COM PORT MAPPING" box turned yellow(indicating that you've connected the phone to pc).
Please note that as soon as u select OPS file in the OPS field of Odin, the Odin straightaway displays the device model number in its title bar, regardless of whether ur phone is physically connected to pc or not.
Now set the files(according to which firmware u have) as follows:
For firmware containing 4 files(Note the beginning filenames)
OPS: BENI_v1.0.ops
BOOT: APBOOT_S5670.....
PHONE: MODEM_S5670.....
PDA: CODE_S5670.....
CSC: CSC_5670.....
Click "Start" & wait till Odin says "PASS". Don't touch ur phone during the process. Ur phone will reboot during the process & that's perfectly normal.
OR for firmware containing one file(Note the beginning filename)
Tick "One Package" field(below com port).
Now set the files as follows:
OPS: BENI_v1.0.ops
One Package: S5670...._HOME.tar.md5
Click "Start" & wait till Odin says "PASS". Don't touch ur phone during the process. Ur phone will reboot during the process & that's perfectly normal.
* Now ur firmware would have been flashed successfully. If ur phone bootloops(showing bootanimation again'n'again) then goto RECOVERY MODE(Press & hold Home+Power keys) & select "wipe data/factory reset" & "wipe cache partition"(Use "Volume up/down" to navigate up/down & "Home button" to select & "Power button" to go back to previous menu). Then select "reboot system now".
*DONE!!
Ur phone would be 100% alright now.
Please follow the sequence exactly as mentioned. U will not find any other way than this one. Although Screenshots are messy...I'm on mobile rite now
Hope this helps...!!
Using window xp but while running through administrater it ask for password but I have never done something like that
Sent from my A13-MID using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Enter ur login password :- The password that u use when the pc is turned/powered ON.
& if u don't know of such thing then ask it from the system administrator.
Can u plzzz tell me the procedure
Sent from my A13-MID using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
I guess u don't know. So, only thing u can do(if u use others' pc/laptop) is kindly request them to allow u admin rights. Tell them ur phone's life is hanging in the balance & only they can save it.
Btw procedure is simple...U just need to enter admin username(if asked) & password in the "Open As Admin" dialog box of Odin.:thumbup:
And if u have ur own pc then u shouldn't have faced this problem.
my big bro have an laptop and when it boot it doesnot need password but while using run as adminstrator it is asking for a password
the only need is to make this phone a portable router i am having 2 pices of fit
Hi
Its not good that we don't have Windows 10 on our old devices and I recently found a trick to "interop-Unlock" old Lumia phones . with "CustomWPSystem_0601.xap" (selecting mix radio app and "vcREG_MIX_RADIO_bootstrap.xap" to deploy) and with registry changes you can get Windows 10 mobile. but for Some people like me ( in Iran ) MixRadio is not available.but don't worry its not going to keep us from getting Windows 10 have a lot of this Tutr all around but this is a full ALL-IN-ONE for Lumia 820
BY DOING THIS THE WARRENTY IS PERHAPS VOIDED DUE TO ROOT ACCESS GRANTTING AND BOOTLOADER UNLOCKING( who knows )
I TAKE NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY BROKEN DEVICE IN OF ANY KIND.DO IT AT YOUR OWN RISK .YOU WILL LOSE ALL DATA DURING THIS
Tested on Lumia 820 RM-825 Running Windows phone 8.1
NOTE : These steps are very much harder than a simple interop-Unlock and higher at the matter of RISK OF BRICKING YOUR DEVICE. So maybe you get confused or etc.. if you are new to windows phone or if you are a non-expert user. READ BEFORE DOING
1- Opt a Stock FFU file or Download via "NSU For reatil" or "Microsoft Device Recovery" . then name should be something like "RM825_3051.50009.1424.0002_RETAIL_im_mea3_287_02_440287_prd_signed.ffu"
pay attention to 3051.50009.1424.0002 part of the name it should be EXACTLY THE SAME WITH YOUR CURRENT VERSION IN PHONE (for you maybe a different number but still should be same in both your device and FFU file you got). If your Version is not the same, flash it with "NSU For retail" or any other tool.
2- Download Zip File from below and unpack it somewhere safe
3-Make sure to turn off your antivirus and HIPS and Auto Sand box if you have any
4-Go to dir where you unpacked the zip file and head t o "Windows phone Internals" and run "WPinternals.exe" you need to be Admin
5-OPTIONAL : Make a backup of your data
6-Connect your turned on Lumia to PC and let Driver get installed
7- Install "Nokia Emergency Drivers" . I used this. its better to restart your PC then.
8-In "Windows phone internals" click on "Unlock bootloader". and Select the folder you placed FFU file and set "Emergency Files" folder from Extracted(ONLY FOR LUMIA 820 <<RM825_3051.50009.1424.0002_RETAIL_im_mea3_287_02_440287_prd_signed.ffu>> FOR OTHERS VISIT THIS AND DOWNLOAD YOUR OWN) file to respected field and at last "Engineering SBL3" (FOR ALMOST ALL OLD PHONES IS IN ZIP FILE") folder to respected field. and hit continue. Follow next steps on screen
IN NEXT STEPS IGNORE ANY DRIVE ADDED TO YOUR PC . DO NOT CHANGE ANYTHING
9-Then hit "Enable root access " in windows phone internal and set respected fields then hit continue. follow next steps on screen
10- at last when Root access is enabled . you will in stock in Storage mode.to Escape press and hold "power+Vol Down" about 10 secent until phone vibrate (this is a soft reset). after all your phone will restart and will normally boot
11- Use "WPV XAP Deployer 2.0" to Deploy "CustomPFD_0600.xap" (You can find both in extracted zip file) (no need for "developer register" due to Root access)
12-Open CustomPFD added to your app list and head to HKLM-->SYSTEM-->Platform-->DeviceTargetingInfo and change these
Single sim only :
PhoneManufacturerModelName " = RM-984
honeModelName = Lumia 830
PhoneHardwareVariant = RM-984
13- Download windows insider and roll in
14- now due to checksum computing during updates you need to Disable root access (BUT DO NOT RESTORE BOOTLOADER). so get back to Windows phone Internal and Disable root access. then rebbot and get back to normal .
15-check for update first one will be preparation and at secent you will get Windows 10 :laugh:
NOTE : your bootloaer will remain unlocked no problem till now BUT if we get any update to change anything to Secureboot then we are probably going to have our devices broken.

Followed all the steps worked thank you!

I have done this, step by step and it works. Regarding bootloader, what can go wrong? Will there be some updates which will make changes to secureboot?

Yes and no!
Microsoft has abandoned lumia 820 updates long time ago so 99% there would be no more updates but in that 1 percent they may release an update which contains new bootloader and overwrite the unlocked one. In that case depend on the new mechanism the solutions can vary ?
Good luck with your new windows 10 mobile device?

I am a noob at this and I dont understand lol. Can u explain better maybe?
If anyone is getting the Bluetooth issues after upgrading (it disables itself/needs to have flight mode switched on and off etc.) I think it's an issue with the latest build that update is sending (I think the last 3 numbers of the version number are 4xx (469?))
With a bit of experimentation (I have a couple of test 820 boards that have broken sim slots) I found that Technical Preview 10.0.14393.67 seems to work OK (most likely with other issues, but Bluetooth is OK) - this is the one you get by signing up for fast loop at all stages during the upgrades
EDIT - Turns out you need to perform a full restore once you've updated to .67 to get Bluetooth working again.
Hey, I did everything until last part : I'm stuck on "Checking for existing updates" :/ wifi + sim data
EDIT : Well, I rebooted multiple time, had to block every app update and system update appear, but i don't know if it's wp10 update :/
EDIT2 : well, updating to 8.1.14219.341 :[
EDIT3 : YaY, win10 update ! xD
i cant get microsoft device recovery to recognize my phone i installed new driver rebooted and still nothing, can someone help ?
It worked!! Thank you for your amazing guide
Hi.
I forgot the password of my Nokia Lumia 820 and I am trying to unlock it using the Aroma file manager. I already downloaded and moved Aroma file manager to the memory card. Now I need to boot my locked Nokia Lumia 820 into recovery mode and go to install zip from SD card. BUT I do not know how to enter the recovery mode in a Nokia Lumia 820. I have tried all these combinations: Power + Volume Up - Power + Volume Down - Power + Volume Up + Volume Down, Power + Volume Up + Camera button- etc, and nothing. could you please help me?
Hello All.. I tried to follow the process to unlock the bootloader of my Lumia 820. But in middle of the process, my laptop crashed
Now my phone is not switching on nor responding to anything. Suggest something to revive the phone.

I'm quite new to flashing in Windows Phone. Is the update done through Windows Insider OR Settings > Phone Update?

I know it's 5 months already. Yesterday my phone got disconnected while flashing with WPInternals. It was dead. Fortunately, it was detected by laptop. Remember to use original USB cable or compatible. I wasted hours dealing with unbranded cable. Then I changed the cable with Samsung's one and found it working.
One of these three command revived my phone and set the screen to red screen with Nokia logo:
thor2 -mode emergency -hexfile "C:\PATH_TO\FAST8960_ARROW_ROW.hex" -mbnfile "C:\PATH_TO\RM825_msimage_v1.0.mbn" -orig_gpt
thor2 -mode emergency -hexfile "C:\PATH_TO\FAST8960_ARROW_ROW.hex" -mbnfile "C:\PATH_TO\RM825_msimage_v1.0.mbn" -skipffuflash
thor2 -mode emergency -hexfile "C:\PATH_TO\FAST8960_ARROW_ROW.hex" -mbnfile "C:\PATH_TO\RM825_msimage_v1.0.mbn" -ffufile "C:\PATH_TO_FFU_FILE.ffu" -skipffuflash

I turned off the phone by detaching the battery and then I reattached it. Execute this command, then connect the phone to laptop.
thor2 -mode uefiflash -ffufile "C:\PATH_TO_FFU_FILE.ffu" -do_full_nvi_update -do_factory_reset

Successfull flash should changed the screen from red to green. Finally, we need to reboot the phone:

Im trying to upgrade my Lumia 820 to windows 10, all was good until step 9
9-Then hit "Enable root access " in windows phone internal and set respected fields then hit continue. follow next steps on screen
where my phone just went blank, i assume somethings wrong with the bootloader and reflashed the bootloader again(with Engineering-SBL3-Lumia-820.bin)
but its still the same. So I went with rooting into the rom and flashing the rom, which worked. But now since Mass Storage Mode is not unlocked, I can't unroot without flashing again. Anyway, I downloaded Windows insider and tap on getting the preview builds, but a server error occurs. Confirmed that my date and time are alright, I have also did the registry editing. I have tried checking for updates, but it seems like its just another 8.1 update. What should my next steps be? Any advice greatly appreciated!

Try to change the time several hours backward.
When I tried it, Windows Insider successfully checked for update but it said no update. I have no idea if it was my firmware or the update was deleted from the server.
is there a better tutorial? I want to do this in a phone here but don't even know where to start
